Cyclists I have seen in the last few days on the road:
no lights back or front in the dead of night; several headsets obviously blasting out music; riding side by side and nattering; coming out of side roads without bothering to look; two on mobile phones/bluetooth; riding on pavements; jumping red lights (one at night cutting through some roadworks into oncoming traffic with the road narrowed to one lane).

You probably don't know anything about cars anyway. So having a conversation with you about emissions is pretty pointless.

It's very hard to overtake the cyclists SAFELY, especially on the narrow country lanes. Cyclists should respect other vehicles and not swarm all over the road (after all, this is for their safety too) and motor vehicles should give due respect to cyclists and ONLY overtake when safe. As with everything in life, a little consideration goes a long way but is often neglected
